Foxcatcher has presented some of the best transformations of popularly known actors in years. Not just physically, but completely. You have never seen Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo like this. And you probably will never imagine Steve Carrell like this. Both Ruffalo (oscar nominated) and Channing (surprisingly not nominated!) have given wonderful performances as the Schultz brothers, both world champion, olympic gold winning freestyle wrestlers. But Steve truly surprises you with his portrayal of infamous John du Pont, the eccentric, sociopathic, crazy millionaire sports enthusiast and "coach" of the Team Foxcatcher. 

Movies based on truth and real stories are always interesting, because it has really happened. But to keep those movies still intriguing could be a difficult task. Bennett Miller succeeds in doing that. Even though there are lots of discrepancies from the real story, what you see is not just a journey of few sportsmen and their sports, but also story of revelation of human weaknesses with lack of love, compassion, kindness in their lives. The scenes are well written, with not too much dialogue and enough for actors to act.

You may not like this movie if sports movie or biographical dramas are not your cup of tea. If you have any are interested in seeing some of your favorite actors transform, in a well written, acted and directed sports-crime drams. This is your movie!
